We all know that poster and we all know he is talking sht.
Your apology is accepted 👍
It's Ukraine that has the man power and equipment issues, not Russia.
His goal is to inject doubt.
It’s failing here, but that likely was the goal. Even if the AFU broke through and had even got the Russians running across the Crimean Plain, all it would take is one negative sounding comment from a news article, and this kind of poster would be on here in a flash to declare: «Oop, it’s looking bad for Ukraine today, they should probably stop». It’s the Kremlin narritive, either directly or often by subtile influence, but they want doubt in Ukraine to spread across the West, and posts like that one were intended to do that.
Expect a lot more of the same as pressure increases on Russia’s occupation of Azov coast.
Further, even if the winter is harsh, Ukraine's advance has let it increasingly touch russian positions closer to Crimea. Moscow might find it harder to bed in with constant artillery and drone fire attacking their logistical strong points.
Just FYI I have this user blocked, it's crap to see their inane responsr; it was a problem in the last software but it's annoying replies to blocked users surfaces that user's post. It's no surprise they go in hard to deny climate change/collapse. Seems on.brand and typical they can't debate the point without affecting dismissiveness as a response.
The science is on my side, but as we know the user will willfully deny reality to flog a point they refuse to budge from. I'd like nothing more than to be dead mistaken about climate collapse; cos the alternative is pretty shïtty to contemplate.
My apologies, I did miss it.
Normally I'd agree but then they get free reign to spout crap.
Try reading the last sentence.
Maybe sending more weapons would help, or is that 'escalation'?
On the flip side of that, you’d wonder if the Russians have gotten their act together from earlier in the war and haven’t just continued issueing mobniks with rotten Soviet field-kits and battle rations that expired a decade ago (or more!). If not, any Winter could prove fatal to a badly equipped mobnik in a frozen trench. Can only imagine how many died this way already.
All while the AFU will likely have access to decent winter gear, and fresh rations.
Point out where collapse was used in the post please.
Let's be honest you have no interest in posting in good faith. The very article you use as evidence says it is way to early to say of it failed or not.
Between your ridiculous posts on Brexit and now in this thread I have not come across a worse poster.
That's very good, without friction there is no movement..

Given how our own neck of the woods is going, I do wonder how much the weather aspect is truly going to play into things? The climate is changing and we've seen the continent experience more extremes, but also much milder-to-hot temperatures in autumn and winter.
The expectation and chatter is around this wet, cold winter we're heading into - but what if it's not? Ukraine won't be immune to the changing climate and if Russia's banking on a frigid winter to stall Ukraine - and it doesn't come hard enough - they might be in trouble. It could be one small situation where climate collapse yields a weird advantage.
Let's be honest, this is not exactly a ringing public endorsement.
Your posts come across as someone who is constantly annoyed with the "performance" of the counter-offensive and want your money back. It's not a film that has to get "public endorsement".
It's a war. They are sacrificing their lives to do what they can under extremely challenging circumstances.
Interesting that he's using the word friction in that interview.
"Let's be honest, this is not exactly a ringing public endorsement. It's patently obvious the offensive has failed and that's just based on Ukraine's own expectations before it."
You quote a US source saying the Ukrainians already have had partial success and yet your own assessment of the counter offensive by Ukraine is failure. Lets be honest and admit there are a lot more moskovytes in Ukraine now turned into fertiliser than there were at the start of the counter offensive.
Meanwhile putin continues to try to kill civilians and Ukraine air defense improves its effectiveness:
It certainly isn't a ringing endorsement of your writing it off as a failure back in July.
The father of it's founder/investor i.e. the real investor was a senior Gazprom director.
Disturbing story about death of English soldier..

Ah I was close but no cigar. That's a bit of a back story there. Wonder is the Russian state still involved.
It's officially a Lithuanian bank but the founders were a Ukrainian and a Russian and a major early investor has been funded by the Kremlin in the past.
It's certainly the first time I have heard it in the same breath as Gasparom.
I'm fairly sure Revolut is Latvian? If it is, be assured there is absolutely no love between Latvia & Russia.
Off topic but (if Pegasus is Spanish)
"What could go wrong"? seems to be " ¿Que puede salir mal ?" -that or they are making the phrase up.
Russians getting properly blasted
Tesla will be the Delorean of its generation in a few years once their battery tech is overtaken. Won't be worth the scrap value. Musk will crash and burn too.
The dollar to rubble shows the fundamentals of the economy is not good… if it starts to continue to go up past the 100 mark then I think the war will falter
This is _quite_ the clarification from the author of the piece.
If the US were at war, there's ways to nationalize his business
